Ok, so for the rest of 2025 through the first half of 2026, I will share what I believe our FATHER, YAHWEH, has impressed on my heart to share with believers to remind us about how we should live so we represent HIM as HIS children well on earth.

Our LORD, demands for us to be Holy as HE is Holy (Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:15-16,) and to live as light in this world (Matthew 5:14-16). As such, there are practical living instructions that our FATHER has given us for our daily lives. So each week, I will share a verse or two instructing us on how to behave. Here’s the first:

Romans 12:1 NKJV
[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.12.1.NKJV

When we live for our GOD YAHWEH and do what HE asks, any oppressors or enemies that stand in our way of HIS worship will be made uncomfortable. HE could decide to plague our enemies with frogs or pour heaps of coals on them or something worse. But know that whoever picks a fight with us is really picking a fight with our FATHER, YAHWEH. So we are to be kind to our enemies, even turn the other cheek for them to slap us, but let our LORD fight for us and defend us. You don’t need to fight, just please GOD and be kind.

Exodus 8:1-8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs. So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls. And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.” ’ ” Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’ ” So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

Proverbs 25:21-22 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.

https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.25.21-22.NKJV

Isaiah 49:25 But the Lord says, “The captives of warriors will be released, and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved. For I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children.

https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.49.25.NLT

Matthew 5:38-39 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.5.38-39.NKJV

Romans 12:20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.12.20.NKJV

Our FATHER YAHWEH is The wisest and knows what critical resources to attack in order to get our oppressors to release HIS children from slavery.Exodus 7:14-25 So the Lord said to Moses: “Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand. And you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear! Thus says the Lord: “By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood. And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians will loathe to drink the water of the river.” ’ ” Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they may become blood. And there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in buckets of wood and pitchers of stone.’ ” And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. The fish that were in the river died, the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said. And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither was his heart moved by this. So all the Egyptians dug all around the river for water to drink, because they could not drink the water of the river. And seven days passed after the Lord had struck the river.

Our FATHER, YAHWEH, demonstrates HIS power to perform miracles as we preach HIS news of deliverance to the world. Whether folks believe you or not will depend on if their hearts are not hard towards GOD

Exodus 7:8-13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.

Mark 16:15-18 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

https://bible.com/bible/114/mrk.16.15-18.NKJV

Matthew 4:23-25 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Romans 15:18-19 For [of course] I will not venture (presume) to speak thus of any work except what Christ has actually done through me [as an instrument in His hands] to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed, [Even as my preaching has been accompanied] with the power of signs and wonders, [and all of it] by the power of the Holy Spirit. [The result is] that starting from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel [faithfully executing, accomplishing, carrying out to the full the good news] of Christ (the Messiah) in its entirety.

Are you concerned that being old would mean no more work for GOD? Don’t be. As long as you still have breadth and strength, serve our FATHER and go where or do what HE asks. Look at Moses, Aaron, Abraham, Caleb, Sarah and so on. Don’t discount yourself at old age or think you can no longer contribute to the work of GOD. Keep at it for as long as you are able.

Exodus 7:6-7 Then Moses and Aaron did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.7.6-7.NKJV

Joshua 14:10-12 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”

Psalms 71:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.

Psalms 92:12-15 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.92.12-15.NKJV

Just like our FATHER, YAHWEH, gave Moses and Aaron power and authority, as God and prophet, in the Old covenant, HE has done similar in the New covenant and made us HIS kings and priests on earth. This authority and power is not for selfish use or abuse, but to impact the lives of others for good and to help usher folks to GOD for salvation, deliverance and transformation. We are to use our power and influence to help others and not hurt them. May we help others with the power and influence HE gives us in The Lord YESHUA’s Holy name, Amen 🙏🏿

Exodus 7:1-5 So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

Psalms 82:6 I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.82.6.NKJVI Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.1.4-6.NKJV

Does Our FATHER, YAHWEH, not know you and all about you? Is HE not the one who made you and knows your strengths and weaknesses? So why do we hesitate to do what HE has asked us to do? Do we not realize that if our FATHER, can speak through a donkey to get our attention, HE can use us, HIS people, to speak deliverance to others who need to be delivered. Unlike Moses, let us not be concerned or afraid about our flaws or that no one will listen to what we preach. Rather, let’s just do what our FATHER has asked us to do as HIS power is what saves and not our mouths or strengths. Trust that GOD who called you to do HIS works will accomplish great things through you not by your power, but by HIS power.

Exodus 6:11-13 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land.” And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.6.11-13.NKJV

Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.28.18-20.NKJV

II Corinthians 12:9-10 NKJV[9] And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [10] Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.12.9-10.NKJV

Is our FATHER, YAHWEH, who is the one and true living GOD, reaching out to you and you can’t see HIM? Is HE bringing deliverance to you and in your pain have failed to recognize it or even reject HIM? Many are overwhelmed and surrounded by dark clouds of life’s issues to the point that they don’t want to hear or receive any messages of hope or salvation. The pain is just too much to bear, or life is just too frustrating to receive anything good. In your despair, know that GOD is there to save you. I pray you push through the noise and sufferings to give GOD our FATHER the chance to step in to deliver you in The Lord YESHUA’s Holy name, Amen 🙏🏿

Exodus 6:8-9 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ” So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.6.8-9.NKJV

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.41.10.NKJV

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.34.18.NKJVPsalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.46.1.NKJV

John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.16.33.NKJV

Does our FATHER, YAHWEH, need to remind us of how great and powerful HE is? Do we need a refresher course on GOD? Do we truly know HIM? How has HE related to our ancestors and proven HIMSELF to them. We should always Member how awesome our FATHER is and how HE takes excellent care of HIS children. We must use that knowledge of HIM to confidently tell the world we are to preach to of how great HE is. Moses had to be reminded in preparations of his approach to the children of Israel. Now, if you know you GOD and are confident in HIM, you can face the world, preach about HIM and declare HIS power and promise even if they don’t want to listen to you or believe you. Stand on and hold on to the truth GOD has revealed to you even if all else refuses to accept you.

Exodus 6:2-7 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them. I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.6.2-7.NKJV

Romans 4:17-22 (Emphasis on 20-22) (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.4.17-22.NKJV

I am guaranteed certain that we, who love GOD, YAHWEH, will see proof that HE loves us. We will see HIM fulfill HIS word to show us favor and for me to show us favor too. HE has even used unbelieving men, leaders and kings to bless HIS children who once held HIS people captive like Pharaoh, King Cyrus and Kung Darius. Be patient to see HIM fulfill HIS favor as HE planned for us. HE gave favor tou our Lord YESHUA and HE will do the same for us In The Lord YESHUA’s Holy name, Amen 🙏🏿

Exodus 6:1 THEN THE Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [compelled] by a strong hand he will [not only] let them go, but he will drive them out of his land with a strong hand.

Ezra 6:1-10 THEN KING Darius [I] decreed, and a search was made in Babylonia in the house where the treasured records were stored. And at Ecbatana in the capital in the province of Media, a scroll was found on which this was recorded: In the first year of King Cyrus, [he] made a decree: Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the house, the place where they offer sacrifices, be built, and let its foundations be strongly laid, its height and its breadth each 60 cubits, With three courses of great stones and one course of new timber. Let the cost be paid from the royal treasury. Also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought back to the temple in Jerusalem, each put in its place in the house of God. Now, therefore, Tattenai, governor of the province [west of] the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates, the Apharsachites who are [west of] the River, keep far away from there. Leave the work on this house of God alone; let the governor and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site. Moreover, I make a decree as to what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the rebuilding of this house of God: the cost is to be paid in full to these men at once from the king’s revenue, the tribute of the province [west of] the River, that they may not be hindered. And all they need, including young bulls, rams, and lambs for the burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests at Jerusalem, let it be given them each day without fail, That they may offer pleasing sacrifices to the God of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
